Before we watch the sunrise
We dance amongst the fireflies
Inches away, miles apart
Only noise is the beating of my heart
Hushed tones blown away by the wind
Sideways glances as if we have sinned
She reaches for my hand
Writes our names in the sand
So temporary yet I am fixated
For this we are berated
What we feel is different than expected
They tell us our love is misdirected
But what we feel is true
For three simple words are hard to misconstrue
Suffocating in this intoxicating air
As she brushes away a strand of my hair
With each touch it becomes harder and harder to breathe
And never do I want to leave
We are together in the same room
So close I can smell her sweet perfume
The room is filled with waves of tension
Her eyes sparkle, the color of gentian
She is my secret and I am hers yet
We sing a strange duet
With all the misguided plebeians gone
We mount a hill whereon
Without a single threat
My beloved and I watch the sunset
